Super League 07-04-16

Hull KR 0-40 Catalans Dragons 

Catalans Dragons ran in seven tries as they moved up to second in Super League with a blanking of struggling Hull KR.

The visitors led 28-0 at half-time as Jodie Broughton scored twice, while Vincent Duport, Krisnan Inu and Greg Mounis also went over.

Richie Myler and Willie Mason grabbed second-half tries, while Pat Richards kicked six conversions from seven attempts for a personal tally of 12.

Catalans are now two points behind league leaders Warrington.

The visitors took the lead when Mason's long run set up a free-flowing move for Broughton to go over, but Pat Richards put the conversion to the left of the upright,

Duport jumped over on the left-hand side and Inu set up Broughton for his second, with Richards converting both tries.

The hosts had a try overturned for a knock-on before Inu jumped first to a high-dropping ball for the visitors' fourth try and Mounis took advantage of poor Hull defending to score.

Richards added the extras on each occasion as Catalans opened up a 28-point lead.

Myler crashed over from close range for the first try of the second half, before things got worse for the hosts when Ben Cockayne was sin-binned for a professional foul.


Mason placed the ball on the line for a seventh try, while Tony Gigot had a try disallowed for a double movement.
